 * Ok, I have a new problem now.
 * The example is simple.
    I create a php file containing a WordPress loop type `
   $query = new WP_Query ($args);`
 * that it displays the last 3 events and uses the_advanced_excerpt like this:
    `
   the_advanced_excerpt('length=20&use_words=1&no_custom=1&exclude_tags=img')`
 * Then in the page.php file (the template pages WordPress)
    I made ​​a loop to 
   include after my call my file that displays the last 3 news ..
 * Bingo! Advanced Excerpt not working and displays Excerpt default WordPress recognizable
   with **[…]**

 * I got this exact same problem since the last update. Good to see it’s not just
   happening with the website I’m managing. I’ve posted a topic myself, btw.

 * Hey guys, are you able to try out a new fix for this problem?
 * I’ve just pushed the code to our git repo, you can download it here: [https://github.com/deliciousbrains/wp-advanced-excerpt/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/deliciousbrains/wp-advanced-excerpt/archive/master.zip)
 * Once downloaded and installed, the version number should be 4.2.2.
 * Please let me know if it solves the problem at all.
 * Thanks!

 * Congratulations Chris!
    It works perfectly.
 * I thought it would be good to also simplify the modification of the line break.
   
   In fact, if you do not add **remove_all_filters(‘the_excerpt’);** into the files,
   and you rule the **exclude_tags** **br**, nothing happens.
 * Would it be possible to implement this hook directly into the plugin when **br**
   is mentioned in the **exclude_tags**?

 * the update broke m site, too. I had some code in my functions file that may have
   been conflicting, but to be honest, I added this so long ago and I’m not exactly
   a php guru at all..
 * the site is [http://jcsfl.org/](http://jcsfl.org/)
 * I removed the following and now just have to fix the plugin settings and css…
 * scary moment..
 *     ```
       /
        * Changes "Continue Reading" link to "Read More" and adds class for excerpts
        */
       function jcs_twentyeleven_continue_reading_link() {
       	return ' <a href="'. esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '">' . __( '<span class="excerpt-more"> Read More </span>', 'twentyeleven' ) . '</a>';
       }
       function jcs_twentyeleven_auto_excerpt_more( $more ) {
           return ' …' . jcs_twentyten_continue_reading_link();
       }
       function my_child_theme_setup() {
           remove_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'twentyeleven_auto_excerpt_more' );
           add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'jcs_twentyeleven_auto_excerpt_more' );
       }
       add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_child_theme_setup' );
       ```
